So a few months back i saw the funniest thing in my gym. This kid was doin some dumbell shoulder presses with the 60, and had like a 1 1/2 inch ROM and even then could barely do it. So then he picks up the 80! And takes like a whole minute to explain to his gf how to properly spot him. So he does a few 1 inch range of motion reps and then drops the weights and thinks hes big shit. Right then, his girlfriend said this very loudly, cuz she was wearin headphones:

That is a backfire waiting to happen. On one hand you might just impress her...until some big bastard comes in and starts making you look like a cream puff. I personally would not want the distraction.I prefer to just get in,get it done and leave.You can spend time with her later.

One dude at my gym who is pretty built but kinda short sometimes trains with his wife, he is there almost every weekday but she only comes a few times a month at the most cause she runs and trains at home (shes a hottie). But yeah whenever she comes it's like he doesn't know any of us and he doesn't bull shit with us like he would normally do or hit on the girl at the front desk who thinks he's hot, lol he must be whipped cause he is like two different people.

This happens to guys all the time........and they end up worrying whether their girl is looking at other guys instead of concentrating on their lifts.

I have had that happen where I've been the stronger "other" guy and the girlfriend will start semi-flirting which makes the boyfriend get even more pissy....

I started to bring my wife in to train because I had to keep hearing from her and her family why I was spending so much time in the gym. The trick was to not let up on intensity. I had her squatting, chest press, military press. leg press, barbell rows, supersettting, drop sets...the whole deal. None of the hamstring machine and cardio crap. (we have a treadmill in our house) And it worked... She started to get some some cuts in her back, triceps, quads and biceps! She was looking good. However, she got out of the routine and now doesn't have the drive to get back to where she once was.too bad....on the plus side, now I dont get any more crap about going to the gym on a saturday.

and just to be sure, I always ask if she wants to come along...buys me as much time as I need.

She has spotted me on 315 Incline just fine and all other lifts just fine. Its perfect since you know she won`t be doing all of the work. Plus she knows what she is doing moreso than any dude in the gym for sure. She knows more than the people on here even.

It's too bad she got lazy and unmotivated......but she's married to you, so who does she have to impress anymore?
